"Catching the War": Jessica Swanlake's Brief Liberation (Character in Gravity's Rainbow) (Critical Essay) de Pynchon Notes Resumen del Libro
"The greatness of war is the greatness of death and danger; it presents overriding circumstances which remove altogether for the time being the motives of selfish people--the immediate prospect of advantage over others. These people realise at once that in the face of death we are all equal, and only then do they let the false pretences drop and become real, ideal human beings. What a pity it lasts for so short a time --not war, but the change of heart that it brings." (qtd. in Ziegler 339) (1) Although war is horrible, many British and American women discovered during the Second World War that it could also be quite liberating. The need for men in the armed services created a tremendous demand for personnel both on the home front and in the military. Many women drove trucks, worked in factories and ran offices. Women also became ferry pilots, served in auxiliary branches of the armed services, and went overseas as medical personnel, primarily nurses. British women had their own versions of Rosie the Riveter; they also became land girls (agricultural workers) or worked in civil defense with the ARP (Air Raid Precaution) or AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service). (2) Societal expectations for gender-appropriate behavior loosened considerably as the war went on: "women were initially resisted, then grudgingly accepted, finally taken for granted" (Ziegler 184). Jessica Swanlake, in Gravity's Rainbow, exemplifies a woman whose life is transformed, at least briefly, for the better by the social upheaval caused by the Second World War.
